Vine to Wine

Harvested by hand at dawn for optimal fruit quality. Chardonnay grapes were tank fermented and then transferred to aged French oak Puncheons. Stirred on yeast lees to build a richness and texture to complement the quality cool climate citrus fruit.

Pairs With

A lightly oaked and textual Chardonnay like this can open the door to many tasty food combinations. It’s crisp and refreshing but has enough depth of flavour and body to stand up to rich dishes like ravioli with burnt butter sauce and roast chicken whilst still being light enough to be a quaffable pairing in the afternoon with some sharp and bitey cheeses.
